EdwardGreene1 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey guys, I'm going to Las Vegas in about a month to do a media internship with Harrah's for the WSOP. I'll be staying at Dayton Complex on UNLV, and was wondering if anyone knew the best way to get from there to the Rio and back by Bus. I'm obviously not gonna have a car while I'm there and was wondering how much a bus/taxi would cost and what the best route is, as the Vegas bus website is a little confusing for someone that's never been there before. Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

GetSprung 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Take the bus from Flamingo to the Rio. I think it's the 201. Pretty sure you can walk easily from most of the UNLV campus to Flamingo but I may be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
MJINK3 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Try not to work too hard out there. I actually tried to volunteer but we are shorthanded and Harrahs is still on a hiring freeze for our room so only a few dealers get to go. Link to post Share on other sites

EdwardGreene1 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Taxi. period.I thought about that, but since I'm not familiar with how much they charge for about a 3.5 mile ride, and how much more/less this is than a bus ride, I'm not sure how much I am willing to spend. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

Why didn't I think of that?K, then a few questions. One: cost. B: Is a half-mile walk to .3 mile walk safe through UNLV along Tropicana Ave? And III: Okay there's no third question, I just like Roman numerals. Link to post Share on other sites
GetSprung 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I would say the walk is fairly safe. Then again it's Vegas and there are shady people everywhere so always keep an eye out. Here is the link to the Public Transit website. It will have bus schedules as well as fares. I am unfamiliar with all transit routes but the trip from UNLV to the Rio on Flamingo is no more than a 20-25 minute ride.http://www.rtcsouthernnevada.com/transit/route/ Link to post Share on other sites
